Chapter 5
"This is going to most likely hurt and drain your body of energy. If you survive you'll most likely be knocked out for a couple of days," Taiitsukun told Tamahome.
Tamahome just nodded. Taiitsukun turned to Chichiri and they both nodded to each other. Together they began chanting the spell. A light formed around Miaka as the process of transferring energy began. The bubble that contained Tamahome began to glow as well. Tamahome felt himself become weak as his energy quickly flowed out of his body and to Miaka. Bit by bit Tamahome's vision became clouded and then everything went black. His last thought before he slipped into unconsciousness was;
"Miaka please be okay."
***Miaka's POV***
Slowly a light appeared in the darkness. It felt so warm and inviting. Miaka felt energy flowing through her veins. A small sound came to her ears. It was the sound of someone chanting something. Miaka closed her eyes as she floated back into conscious.
***Normal POV***
Taiitsukun and Chichiri finished the chant and the light dimmed and slowly diminished. The bubble containing Tamahome floated gradually to the ground before depositing Tamahome on the floor, and then it disappeared. Nuriko and Tasuki rushed to Tamahome to see if he was still alive. They were relieved to find that he still had a pulse and was still breathing. Chichiri and Taiitsukun were both tired, but not enough to cause them to faint if they moved. Both of them walked over to Tamahome.
"Chichiri will you pick him up and put him in one of the guest bedrooms," Taiitsukun managed to say.
Chichiri nodded, but before he could reach Tamahome Nuriko stopped him.
"I'll take care of it Chichiri. You and Taiitsukun should rest," Nuriko said as he effortlessly picked up Tamahome's limp body and carried him down the hall to a guest room.
Tasuki decided to check up on Miaka. Her fever was gone, she was breathing normally, and the color was coming back to her face. Tasuki sighed.
"Miaka's doing better. She's returning to normal," Tasuki told his comrades.
Nuriko reentered the room and joined Chichiri and Taiitsukun as they walked over the bed Miaka lay upon. It was true Miaka was looking better already. Miaka's eyes twitched a little and little by little she opened her eyes. As her eyes focused she noticed the faces of her friends right above her. She leisurely brought forth a small smile.
"Hi everyone," Miaka's raspy voice managed to say.
Everyone smiled and greeted Miaka back. Miaka smiled and looked around and finally noticed something.
"Where's Tamahome?" Miaka asked curiously.
They all hesitated. Nuriko was the first one to speak up.
"He's in the guest room down the hall resting," Nuriko answered.
Miaka sat up. Allowing the wave of dizziness, that she felt, leave her before she responded by saying, "Can I see him?"
Nuriko looked back to Taiitsukun. Taiitsukun nodded.
Nuriko turned back to Miaka and said, "Sure."
Miaka attempted to get out of bed and walk by herself, but found it difficult at first, so Tasuki lent her a hand.
"Thanks Tasuki," Miaka said as she smiled.
The group led Miaka down the hall to the door that led to Tamahome's room.
"Miaka, you must know that Tamahome may not be waking up for a while, so please try not to become worried by his appearance," Taiitsukun stated.
Miaka was confused, but her confusion quickly became worry as Tasuki helped her into Tamahome's room. A slight gasp left her lips and she half dashed and half fell to Tamahome's bedside. He was as pale as a ghost and his breath was somewhat raspy.
"Oh my god! What happened to him?" Miaka frantically asked her friends.
"He volunteered to donate his energy so you could be saved even though there was a great risk that he could die," Chichiri answered as Miaka turned back to Tamahome, tears running down her face, "but as you can see he didn't die. He is very weak though. It may take a few days to possible a few weeks for him to wake up. It depends on his will to live."
A slight, but deadly silence came over the group.
"Could you please leave him to me? I'll take care of him. Don't worry about me I'll be fine," Miaka asked breaking the long silence.
"Very well Miaka. Take good care of him," Taiitsukun said and she hurried the other Suzaku Seven out.
Once the door was closed Miaka wiped her cheeks with her sleeve. She cupped Tamahome's cheek with her hand before she collapsed onto his chest and cried herself to sleep.
***Elsewhere***
"Are you sure it's okay that we leave her in there by herself?" Tasuki asked.
"Yes, she will be fine. What you three need to do is contact Hotohori and inform him on what has happened. I'm sure he's worried silly," Taiitsukun said with a slight grin.
"You're right. Knowing him he already paced around the room about 300 times," Nuriko stated.
This made the group laugh.
"I shall contact him and tell him what has happened. You two should get some rest. It's been a long night and I'm sure you both are exhausted," Chichiri said.
Tasuki and Nuriko nodded. Both said their goodnights and went into their own guest rooms. Chichiri sat on the ground and focused on contacting Hotohori.
***Palace in Konan***
Hotohori was pacing around the throne room still. It had been almost 5 hours since Tamahome and the others had left with Miaka to go see Taiitsukun and he still hadn't heard from them.
"Please your highness rest. It won't do the priestess much good for you just to pace around the room. Please take a seat and rest for a little bit," one of Hotohori's advisers stated.
Hotohori sighed and gave up by taking a seat. The adviser had been bugging him to sit for the last 2 hours. He was extremely worried about Miaka.
"Your highness? Are you there?"
Hotohori looked up thinking he might be crazy, "Chichiri is that you?"
"Yes sir, it is," Chichiri answered.
"Is Miaka ok? What happened? Tell me!" Hotohori asked earnestly.
"Miaka is fine, but Tamahome is not so well," Chichiri declared.
"Why? What happened to him?" Hotohori questioned.
"He volunteered to donate his energy to Miaka to help lift the curse off of Miaka. There was a good chance he could die, but he didn't. However, he has become very weak. He is resting right now and Miaka is with him. Once Tamahome wakes up and has the energy to, we will return. Until then I will try and keep you updated on events," Chichiri confirmed.
"Very well, thank you Chichiri. You get some rest and make sure to keep me informed on what happens," Hotohori declared.
"Very well your highness. You should get some rest as well. I shall be in touch with you later," Chichiri answered as he closed the connection.
Hotohori sighed.
'Well, at least Miaka is okay. Now we'll just have to wait to see what happens,' Hotohori thought as he returned to his room and tired to get some rest.
***Taiitsukun's Place***
Chichiri closed the connection and opened his eyes. He was extremely exhausted. He stood up and choose a guestroom to stay in and then went to bed.
**** Days went by and Tamahome didn't move a muscle. Miaka remained at his side, refusing to leave him for even a minute. She didn't eat much and hardly slept. On the 11th day Miaka's body finally couldn't take anymore and she fell asleep her head and arms resting on the side of Tamahome's bed. Miaka had been sleeping for almost 5 hours when Tamahome gradually came to. He opened his eyes slowly and wearily. It took a while for his eyes to adjust, but when they did he realized he was in a room, lying on a bed. He looked to his side and saw Miaka laying there. Thinking the worst he pushed himself up a little and gave her shoulder a slight shake. Miaka's eyes steadily opened. Her head shot up when she noticed Tamahome was awake. Tears flowed out of her eyes. She threw her arms around his neck and tightly embraced him. Tamahome was a bit shocked at first, but slowly he wrapped his arms around her shaking form and held her close, thankful that she was finally alright.
Between her sobs Miaka managed to say, "Tamahome.sniff. I 'm so. glad you're. alright.sniff."
"I'm fine Miaka. Are you sure you're okay?" Tamahome asked as he pulled away from her slightly.
Miaka nodded and responded, "Yes, thanks to you. Don't you do that ever again! I was so scared that you may never wake up."
"How long was I out for?" Tamahome asked as he wiped her tears away, but it didn't work because new ones just replaced the old ones.
"11 days!! You have no idea how long that felt to me!" Miaka cried as she threw herself into Tamahome's arms.
"I'm sorry to make you worry. Right now though I think we both need to go get some food. I'm starving and you look like you haven't touched one item of food for days!" Tamahome said with a small smile on his face.
Miaka's face brightened up at the sound of food as her stomach grumbled. She blushed lightly. Tamahome tired to stand, but found it hard, so Miaka put his arm around her shoulders so she could help support him. He slightly thanked her and they exited the room thanking god that the other was okay.
*********************************** Author's Notes: I finally wrote this chapter. It took me quite a while because I was having a bit of writer's block. I'm not sure if I should continue going on. If I were to it would probably be really short because I don't want to start something completely new. Oh, well I'll think about it for a while. Tell me how it was.
One Final Note: I don't know if I'll write another Fushigi Yuugi story or not. Right now I'm thinking of writing an InuYasha story. Anyway, just thought some people may want to know. Don't forget to review.
Note: As promised here is Chapter 5!! Hope everyone likes it. Thanks to all those people who reviewed. I really appreciate it.
